This is a rich country. At (east Ferdy’s spouse has reason to think so, Yet we read the following “piory in a capitelist paper: “Mrs, iBrnnette Lacy and ber family, saved ‘from eviction by $40 fund raised in dudge Eberhardt’s court, face a cheer- less winter unless. somebody helps.” This is a rich country, no doubt, for those who are made rich by the un- ‘wequited toil of millions of wage slaves “who are not much farther removed from the sidewalk than Mrs. Lacy. * + * TPHE Duke of Marlborough has asked the pope to nullify his 1895 mar- Yiage with Conseulo Vanderbilt which ended in a divorce after 25 years— e long time between. The present duchess, another American parasite, | ‘was married to the duke in 1921 by a} presbyterian clergyman. So the duke must break thru a lot of red tape in order to prepare the heavenly skids for his soul when he passes away. Therefore he desires to embrace the catholic ‘faith, which is a darn good; faith for those who have the embrac- ing complex since old papa in’ Rome will forgive any deviation as long as you have the dough. se @ FAEN Barbara Tongh, a hard-boiled ‘Y Scotch girl, intruded on the Reverénd Hall while the clergyman) was entertaining his favorite choir girl On his knee, the aforesaid clergy- man looked daggers at Barbara.

Which only g0es to prove that since a holy ghost descended on the humble home of a Nazarene carpenter, the flesh and the devil have been engaged in a deadly struggle with most of the honors go- ing to the latter. t 8 4 ISS JANE ADAMS, replying to an idiotic complaint from an Ameri- can Legion commander, that Hull House is a hot-bed of Communism, retorts that there never was a Com- munist in Hull House. Jn all probabil- ty Miss Adams is mistaken. It is quite possible that a Communist man- eed to sneak into that respectable sanctum sanctorum at some time or other. But there is no more Com- munism in Jane Adams’ system than there is in the right hind leg of a flea, but what can one expect from the kind of a human animal who can get a thrill out of -being an official in the American Legion. + e4 HAT to wear, how to walk and when to speak are the three great qnestion matks bedevilling the sleep- aristocracy. Fortunately they don’t have to worry about thinking since the queen's literary expert, in his im- pressions of America, has proved that the queen has about as much intel- Higence as the president or a Pi Beta Phi girl. Nevertheless it is’ tough on the daughters of our big pork sausage and sauerkraut men to be obliged to take-bending exercises, smell garbage and practice rubbing their noses in the gutter rehearsing for an Introduc- tion to the queen. All this could be obviated by crowning Calvin Coolidge king of the western world.
